Co-Founder/VP of Talent Solutions

Viante Talent Solutions

March 2025 - Present

In 2024, after nearly two decades of driving impact inside global organizations and as an external advisor, I hit pause for a purpose-filled sabbatical. My wife Valerie and I spent the year traveling the world, exploring diverse cultures and perspectives. That experience inspired the creation of Viante Talent Solutions—a coaching and consulting practice grounded in the passion for being a spark for community, culture, and a deep rooted desire to help people grow and thrive. The name, “Viante,” itself is a play on words derived from Latin and Italian roots meaning “the traveler” or “the way ahead,” and that’s exactly what we aim to offer: a path forward for individuals and organizations ready to transform. Through our proprietary FORWARD™ framework, I partner with curious, courageous clients to: ► Deliver deeply personalized, human-centered coaching that taps into each individual’s unique strengths and aspirations. ► Equip businesses with world-class talent strategies, leadership development, learning journeys and organizational growth solutions. As Founder, Coach and Global Talent Solutions Leader, I bring a blend of strategy, creativity, and a commitment to helping others unlock their full potential and lead with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose.
